He found a place to hide

I was delighted to see him walk towards our hedge in the olive grove.

Much safer! Hope the chlorine didn’t affect him 🤞🏼

[Desi]

So wonderful to see him going into the bushes. What a lovely rescue story

[Diana]

@narayani We don't use chlorine in our pool Narayani. We have a filter system and only use salt :-)
@seacreature thanks Desi, we were so happy to have spotted it in time :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

Nicely camouflaged!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Delightful as he finds refuge in the bushes!

[Renee Salamon]

Does he have a home to go to?

[Dawn]

Lovely

[winghong_ho]

Better don't go swimming anymore.

[Zenobia Southcombe]

Lovely!

[Susan Wakely]

Probably a much safer place to be.

[Gosia]

Well spotted

[Valerie Chesney]

Delightful to have him so close to see him!

This is a great close-up shot, but I bet he’s hard to see otherwise

[Mags]

Aww! Lovely little guy!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Cute capture.

Nice capture. Well camouflaged for the environment.

Looks like a čančara, kind of turtle which I saw in Dalmatia. In the Republic of Croatia, čančara is a legally protected species of animal.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

great that you can find him being so small

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Carole Sandford]

Nice!

[Heather]

Great shot to pull him into focus, although he may think he's hidden :) (I'm reminding myself how small he is!) Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh good- it looks like he'll grow and have a long life!

[Rick]

Great shot.

@rensala His home is about 55 hectares which is about 135,000 acres Renee. 30 hectares are open spaces, the rest have houses. About 150 tortoises of all sizes have been brought here by Cape Nature. It is a safe environment for them and they have space. The big ones have all been rescued and the little ones are orphans.

The cutest little turtle that I have ever seen!!
